season at-a-Glance

Fugitive Productions brings music, comedy, and storytelling back to Boston’s ‘burbs. For the foreseeable future, most of our music and comedy events are scheduled at Sanctuary. It is a BIG room, with 30-foot ceilings featuring a full bar. Patrons are welcome to bring food and snacks to most events.

We continue to add events. Tickets are available a minimum of four to six weeks in advance of performance dates. Check posts for timing and ticket links. Sign up for our eblasts to receive reminders of upcoming events and check out our Facebook and Instagram pages.
